Right at my feet -
And when did you get here
snail?
Yoshi Mikami Issa (1762-1826)
Had funny old day today - after some quite spectacular artistic block this morning, with much rambling around the house picking things up, and putting them down again, I made these. I wanted to do some poems, and after feeling bit intimidated by poems with lots of lines, haiku seemed like a good option. I found this site http://www.toyomasu.com/haiku
which is quite sweet, and finally after a last cup of tea, got going. Got a little bit carried away on the cherrie blossom one, but am quite pleased with how what looked like a bit of a disaster of a day turned out in the end.
i think you ended up having a very successful day... can't say the same for myself!
ReplyDeleteWow, it is really interesting because normally people try to draw in Japanese style, but your work is modern and western. I enjoy haiku in different way with your illustration. Really nice picture. I really love it!
ReplyDelete...!!!
ReplyDeleteAfter a couple of unproductive days and quite a bit of stressing, I finally decided upon an idea on Thursday, and have spent the last few days reading up, and doing some drawings based around... Haikus!
And then I go to check out people's blogs today and see you've been doing the same! I even looked at the same website! But I don't think I've chosen the same haikus as you...
I really like these images Jenny. It's a great series...
